Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de communication sans fil (1) dans lequel une station de base radio (BS1), qui alloue à un terminal radio (UE1) une ressource radio spécifiée par la combinaison d'une fréquence et d'un temps, et une station de base radio (BS2), qui alloue au terminal radio (UE1) la même ressource radio, utilisent cette ressource radio pour effectuer une communication coopérative avec le terminal radio (UE1). Dans le système de communication sans fil (1), si une condition prédéfinie, qui indique que la contribution de la station de base radio (BS1) à la communication coopérative est inférieure à un degré prédéfini, est respectée et, en outre, si une qualité de trajet de propagation (Q2) entre la station de base radio (BS1) et un terminal radio (UE2) est meilleure qu'une qualité de trajet de propagation (Q1) entre la station de base radio (BS1) et le terminal radio (UE1), alors la station de base radio (BS1) alloue la ressource radio mentionnée ci-dessus au terminal radio (UE2) à la place du terminal radio (UE1).
